Manchester United legend is unsure where his future lies

Veteran defender Rio Ferdinand remains determined to play on next season - but admits he has no idea if that will be at Manchester United.

The 35-year-old former England captain has been at the heart of at the Red Devils backline since moving to Old Trafford 12 years ago, however, this season he has found himself left out of the side frequently.

But despite the uncertainty surrounding the club, the West Ham youth product is convinced he still has plenty to offer in what's left of his career.

"I am fit, I am healthy and I want to continue playing," he said. "I have spoken to a lot of mates of mine in the game and they all say the same thing - keep playing for as long as you can.

"The club at the moment is in a position where they can't really make any decisions about anything.

"For me to be saying I want to do this or that is irrelevant, because we have got to see who becomes the new manager and boxes will be ticked from there.

"I just want the best solution for the club. Whatever it is, then I will respect it. After that I am open to offers. But I would rather wait and see what happens at United and then there will be a decision to be made."

Many United fans will be relieved to see the back of an awful season and Ferdinand feels it is important they move on and forget about how things have gone.

"There is no point harping on about what David Moyes did and what went wrong. We have got to turn the page," he said.

"You can't move forward if you keep looking back. A new manager will come in and he's the person we've got to get behind, to work with and make sure he gets it right.

"It is important everyone works together to continue the process of winning as that is what we are. We are a team that's won lots of titles and cups and we want to get back to that."
